In fact (if you don't mind my replying to my own post), I have been known to load up my Minolta 9xi with chrome film, set the camera to Programmed automation using matrix metering, and shoot willy nilly, letting the camera do all the decisions for me. In all the times I have done this, I can't recall ONE poorly exposed frame. Virtually 100% successfull. How can either the F5 or R8 beat that? Dan C.
